Very enjoyable stay!

I stayed here for three nights, and it was as I expected. It was clean, efficient, and the staff can help you out with mapping out any activities that you may want to take part of in Te Anau. The only reason I gave it four stars is the noise. The walls were very thin and if you have the misfortune of having the room next to a rowdy crowd next door, there isn't much to save anything for your imagination, but other than that, I really had a nice stay here.It's only a couple of minutes by foot to the center of town where you can pretty much chill and have a good meal.The kitchens are stocked with pots and pans, and everything you might need to cook yourself a nice meal. Overall, a nice little place to stay in the next time you are in Te Anau.More

I have been to this hostel at least once a year as it is very convenient when I stay in Te Anau, supermarkets are walking distance, town centre is not far away, cleaness and easy YHA standard online booking system.

However this time I learned this hostel needs more insulation against noise. I stayed in a double that is located in very end of the building because I needed good sleep for next day. Around 10pm, young people came back to neighbour room, slamming the door, talking in the room and corridor, and putting something on pegs on walls. I clearly heard what happened next room and realized how thin the walls are. I have never had this problem before, I guess I was lucky not having these noisy people staying at same night, but If you are unlucky then these noise destroys your stay. I know it is half the young people`s fault and half hostel`s fault but the hostel definitely needs to improve the facility.

Young people? Of course I shut them up around 11pm.

Stayed in a twin room with ceiling heating. It was not exceptionally warm but good enough the (temperature was around 12 degrees, so don't know how it would fare in the face of winter). Clean bedding, toilet and shower facilities very clean with 24hours hot water. Kitchen gets cleaned every morning - so kitchen was clean with ample working & cooking space.

They have a cosy TV room with ceiling heater (which was WARM!) and a good selection of DVDs you can watch for free (with a $20 security deposit). No free wifi for non-members.

They have an outdoor eating area which was nice when the temperature was not so chilly outside and the dining room was too stuffy.

4Square supermarket is just up the road, a 3min walk from the hostel. 5-10min walk to New World supermarket and other shops and restaurants. 5min walk to the lakeside. Convenient location with sufficent car parks within the compound as well.

We stay in a private room for 2 nights, room was tight and no TV, but it was also clean and secure. The hostel has tennis courts, volleyball and barbecue facilites for guest use. I actually really enjoyed my stay here as without a TV in the room I found we socialized more with the other guests and I enjoyed it thouroghly. Te Anau is not a big town but the YHA is located centrally so everything is only a short wlak away. Would recommned this hostel to all. Really nice fire in the communal area and wifi available throughout the hostel.
